Plastic sheeting
This is an essential of water
damage response; its use is primarily preventive. Often damage can be
contained by draping plastic sheeting over materials, particularly those
shelved in library stacks. This can be a quicker, simpler, and equally
effective alternative to relocating or packing out materials. It's a
good idea to keep a roll of tape and a knife or scissors with the
plastic.
